Corporate Team Building in Northampton

A lot of team building is either an exercise nobody wanted to do or a meal where everyone sits with the people they already know. Climbing is different: people end up encouraging each other without being asked to.

Why climbing works for teams

One person climbs while the rest of the group watches, points out the next hold and cheers them on. Everyone takes a turn, so everyone gets that support back.

Job titles don't count for much on a climbing wall, and the quietest person in the office is often the one who gets highest. Teams tend to leave with plenty to talk about.

Most people have never climbed before, so the whole group starts on an equal footing.

What a session involves

Sessions run at The Pinnacle Climbing Centre in Far Cotton and are led by our qualified instructors from start to finish. You can build a session around roped climbing on our main walls, bouldering, or our indoor cave system, which is the only one in Northampton.

All equipment is provided and no experience is needed. We will talk through your group size, mix and what you want out of the day, then shape the session around it.

Pricing and what is included

Team building sessions start from £21 per person, with qualified professional staff throughout and all equipment included.

If you need somewhere to run the working part of the day as well, our Summit Suite conference room holds up to 100 delegates, with room hire from £20 per hour. Audio visual equipment, catering, WiFi and parking are included, so you can run a morning of meetings and an afternoon on the walls without moving anybody between venues.

Who it suits

It works well for away days, department socials, staff rewards, groups of new starters and client entertaining. Mixed fitness levels are fine, because the walls range from easy to hard and the instructors help everyone find the right level.

It also suits teams who have already done escape rooms and go-karting and want something more active.
